Workshop Day 1: The Multimedia Principle and Prezi
Lead Instructor: Samuel Cook
What to Expect:
During this session, teachers will gain the opportunity to learn about and experience firsthand various theories behind multiple learning, with an emphasis on the Multimedia Principle and other theories behind learning using various types of information in a presentation. Teachers will examine these principles in action by viewing and discussing ready-made presentations which use software that will be covered over the course of the 5 day workshop. In particular, teachers will look at both examples of good and bad multimedia presentation designs. Finally, teachers will work both collaboratively and individually to put together an initial multimedia presentation using a program that they have not used in the past or have only limited experience with.
Primary Workshop Subjects:
Introduction to Multimedia Learning Theory
Presentations from a Master Teacher
Beginning hands on experience with either Prezi,Emaze, PhotoPeach, Powtoon, VoiceThread or anyother Web 2.0 based software program.
Prerequisite Knowledge:
A basic understanding of presentation software functionality.
A basic understanding of Web 2.0 programs.
Knowledge of basic computer functionality.
Pre-workshop survey should have been completed prior to attending the workshop.
Workshop Objectives:
Given a detailed overview of the Multimedia Principle, teachers participating in the first day’s workshop will be able to use Prezi’s presentation search engine to locate, examine and positively identify at least one example of a presentation which correctly uses the Multimedia Principle.
Given an example of a multimedia presentation delivered by a Master Teacher, teachers participating in the first day’s workshop will work collaboratively to identify and discuss no less than 3 different and unique uses of the Multimedia Principle.
Given several pre-selected Web 2.0 presentation software examples, teachers participating in the first day’s workshop will work independently to examine two specific websites they plan to utilize over the course of the 5 day workshop and provide rationale for their interest by completing a mid-session survey on Google.
Using their county-issued computers, teachers participating in the first day’s workshop will create and present an initial example of a multimedia presentation using one Web 2.0 presentation software website presented during the session.
